SUMMARY:Triggers for Boosted Physics Signals at the Compact Muon Solenoid E
	xperiment 
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dylan Rankin\n\nPart of the Preliminary Oral Exam.\n\
	nExamining Committee: Tulika Bose\, Kevin Black\, Martin Schmaltz\, Shyamsu
	nder Erramilli \n\nAbstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most po
	werful particle accelerator ever built\, with a design center of mass energ
	y of 14 TeV for proton-proton collisions. The high center of mass energy co
	mbined with the high luminosity environment gives rise to many challenges f
	or the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC. Many of these cha
	llenges stem from the abundance of jets that dominate the final states of a
	ll hadron colliders\, but are especially problematic at the high center of 
	mass energies and luminosities of the LHC. Techniques termed jet substructu
	re techniques\, developed for identifying structure in jets from boosted he
	avy resonances\, have been shown to be very effective. These techniques are
	 crucial to many new physics searches for heavy resonances. This talk will 
	focus on the use of these techniques in the High Level Trigger (HLT) system
	. Specifically\, we will show that one of these techniques\, trimming\, can
	 be used to great effect in hadronic triggers\, allowing the retention of e
	vents with boosted jets that would otherwise be rejected by more traditiona
	l triggers. \n\n![Rankin](/resources/event-image/1373/73f1dae_small)
